Both Peter and Anthony raved about their experience (not to mention they brought home enough food to last them for days!) at the Culinary Institute of America.

If you are anywhere near the CIA facilities in Hyde Park, NY, St. Helena, CA, or San Antonio, TX, Peter Salerno implores you to expand your cooking horizons and take a course at the CIA nearest you. It’s a true master class in cooking.

Peter Salerno was so enamored with the recipes he learned at his CIA Mediterranean Cuisine cooking class, he’s sharing two of them with you today:

Chicken Tagine with Apricots and Golden Raisins

Paella with Quail, Shrimp and Chorizo

Both dishes are fresh takes on classic Mediterranean fare, and Peter and his family were thrilled with the results. We hope you are too! Please enjoy these recipes and share them with your loved ones.
